Required Search Arguments

Although you can customize almost every aspect of query and result pages, there
are some arguments required for search functions to display the different types of
search pages. These arguments are required whether the search function is in a
decorated URL, or embedded as an HREF in a pattern file.
Search functions that display the search query page require these arguments:
• Search query (the word, phrase, or attribute you want to search on)
• Collection (can specify more than once for multiple-collection searches)
Search functions that display the search results page require these arguments:
•
NS-search-page=results
• Collection (can be specified more than once for multiple-collection searches)
search query
Search functions that display a highlighted document require these arguments:
•
NS-search-page
• Document path
• Collection (can be specified only once)
• Search query (necessary if you want to highlight the query data)
